HELP!How can I quickly align the markers with the audio blocks?

In my work, I need to use the function of exporting loop markers. If the audio block I modify is larger than the loop marker’s frame, I have to manually adjust the start and end positions of the loop marker, which takes up a lot of my time. Is there any way to quickly make the loop marker region match the length of the audio block?

I need Picture 1 to quickly become Picture 2.


PLEASE!!

I’m sorry, but this isn’t what I’m looking for. Pressing the P key controls the left and right locators, but what I need is a shortcut to quickly adjust the bounding area of the left and right loop markers.

This may be possible with some PLE and scripting.

Not super straightforward though.

Here are some options:

  1. Set Snap to Events and drag the handles. Two clicks.
  2. Create a new marker on another lane via the ‘Event to marker’ keycommand. Batch rename markers via import options.
  3. Same as 2 but rename the audio files from a list.
  4. Figure out a way to use PLE, it should be possible.

Good luck!

Just to add another tool:

-Create a new marker track
-Select all events on your track
-Create markers from selected events (In the Project menu)

You can then use one of the rename functions.

Unless i’m mistaken that is my second option :slight_smile: but better described (i’ll admit my tips are sparse).

To do this, select both the cycle marker and the event and then trigger the following macro:

Transport / Locators to selection
Project / Open Markers
Edit / Invert Selection
Edit / Invert Selection
Transport / To Left Locator
Marker / Set Marker Start to Cursor
Transport / To Right Locator
Marker / Set Marker End to Cursor
